Yuyuan Garden is the perfect place for you to go and enjoy a day or night of beautiful Chinese culture. There’s architecture, there’s food, there’s shopping, and there are people from all over the world walking around there. The area is very big and offers many options of entertainment for the whole family! It is usually quite busy, but the pictures were taken during Chinese New Year so I think that was a bit out of the curve 😂 Visit Yuyuan Garden for amazing pictures and a true feel of being in China. It’s also a great contrast between the super modern city of Shanghai and the old, traditional China. However, you can also find McDonald’s, KFC, and other places around. Inside the walls of the garden, there are many souvenir shops with infinite little items for sale, and many Chinese stores that sell fancy chopstick sets, paintings, fans, and bags. #staycation #historicalplaces #shanghai

🌸 In the rapidly modernizing city, history is often obscured by skyscrapers, but there are always corners that carry the memories of the past, waiting for us to discover. This time, the Fosun Group's 515 Fosun Family Day, themed 'Fun in the Garden', allows us to walk into the old town's alleys and experience a journey back in time. 🌸 The five main themed scenes are rich and varied, covering the historical changes of the old town's alleys. The most characteristic are the interesting historical scenes that have been restored, such as the grocery store, barbershop, living room, public telephone booth, and arcade. These scenes are no longer visible to today's children, but they are the childhood memories of us who were born in the 80s and 90s. 🌸 It is these interesting themes that also help today's children to learn about our childhood fun facts, allowing them to gain a deeper understanding of the historical heritage of this land. 🌸 Date: 2024.5.15-6.7 Address: Central Plaza of Yu Garden Mall

The Yu Garden Lantern Festival is so popular that it's worth braving the crowds to see it. ✨【Lighting Time】 ✅17:00-22:00, I arrived after 18:00, when it was already dark and there were quite a few people. However, when I left before 20:00, there were even more people... ✅So my advice: either come early, at 17:00, when there are relatively fewer people, with the downside that it's not completely dark yet. Or come late, entering the garden at 21:00. 🚶‍♀️【Tour Route】 🚇Transport: Subway Line 10/14, Yu Garden Station, Exit 7, just across the road 📸Route & Must-Visit Spots: ➡️Walk along Jiuxiao Chang Road, where you'll pass gates 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the Yu Garden Mall, all of which you can enter. Gate 5 has the 【Dragon Head Decoration】, or you can turn to Fangbang Middle Road to reach Gate 7, which has the 【Coiling Dragon Pillar】. ➡️Enter through Gate 7, go straight, and on the left, there's a Mr. Pi Coffee where you can go to the second floor, but the photo spot is blocked off. On the right is the large lantern set 【"Dragon Soaring Over the Sea"】. ➡️After taking photos, continue forward, and you'll see signs directing traffic around the Jiuqu Bridge. I followed the crowd to the bridge. There were a lot of people, but it was manageable. This year's popular attractions 【Spirit Dragon, Dragon Horse, Lu Meiling...】 are all on the Jiuqu Bridge. ➡️After squeezing through the Jiuqu Bridge, follow the crowd out and find yourself at Gate 2, which also has a beautiful archway. Turning the corner, you're back on Jiuxiao Chang Road, where I took photos of 【the Dragon at Yanhai Pavilion】. ➡️I found another entrance to go back in and took photos of this year's super popular 【Night of Fish and Dragon Dance】. ➡️Following the main road, you'll reach the Golden Square, where the 【"Mirage"】 lantern set is located. After touring the above, you're basically done. You can then browse some small shops before heading home. ☕【Food & Drink】 There are many places to eat and drink, from street stalls to proper restaurants. When I went, it didn't seem too crowded... everyone was squeezing onto the Jiuqu Bridge... 🎟️【Tickets】 ⏰Date: 2024.1.21-2.25 👍Free Admission: Currently free, 💰Charging period: 2.10-2.25, Adults: 80, Children: 50 yuan 2.9 Chinese New Year's Eve, no lighting 2.10-2.16 10:00-22:00 2.17-2.21 14:00-22:00 2.22-2.25 10:00-22:00 Yu Garden Mall Gates 2, 3, 5 ticket checkpoints 🗺️【Surroundings】 ✅Yu Garden is not far from Nanjing East Road and the Bund. You can stroll the Bund during the day and come to see the lights at night, or continue to enjoy the night view of the Bund after the lights. ✅The Yu Garden itself (the actual garden) is also worth visiting, one of the top five gardens in Shanghai, suitable for daytime tours and evening light viewing Yu Garden Mall

Entering from the four main lantern groups themed 'Dragon Roaming the Four Seas', visitors can reach different fantasy fairylands. On the Golden Square, it feels like entering a fantastical and magnificent underwater fairyland paradise, where the immersive scenes create an ethereal and elusive sensation of 'mirage'. The Penglai Fairy Mountain is suspended upside down, with the Tree of Beads standing tall in the center, its branches blooming like colorful corals, adorned with magical fruits resembling pearls and jade. The 'Three Penglai Fairies' - the Fortune Fish, Prosperity Fish, and Longevity Fish - are lively and dynamic. As visitors wander through, they move like a dragon, symbolizing 'Hidden Dragon'. The central square remains the zodiac's main stage. A giant yellow dragon, in the pose of 'Dragon Leaping Over the Sea', soars into the sky, embracing a blue sphere lifted by the waves, guarding the growth of all things. Among the surging waves, dragons of China with various forms leap and dance together. At the head of the Nine-Turn Bridge, the Fish Dragon Princess sways gracefully, leading people into the deep-sea world of 'fantastic confusion and brilliant starry sky'.

The Shanghai Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival in the Year of the Dragon will continue the story of 'The Wonders of Mountains and Seas' based on the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas' as its design blueprint, and will shine together with the French Yuyuan Garden Lantern Festival themed 'Mountains and Seas are Spiritual'. Inside Yuyuan Shopping Mall, four doors of blessing and purification lead to the appearance of the divine dragon, and five major theme scenes create the image of the deep sea and river map, presenting the magical species of the zodiac dragon and the vast ocean animal and plant kingdom living in harmony. Fishes sway, waves roll and clouds spread, visitors wander among pavilions, terraces and towers, as if they are traveling in a dreamy wonderland, experiencing a cultural feast of Eastern lifestyle aesthetics.

🧚‍♀️I went to my happy hometown again this weekend! I found that the New Year atmosphere here has been online.
